Why Buy a Vintage Gas Range?

The Performance. There's no reason why a vintage stove can't perform as well or better than a modern stove. A 9,000 BTU burner puts out the same heat on a vintage or modern stove. They might look way different, but stoves built from 1900 to today work in basically the same way.

The Features. Retro gas stoves were often built with convenient and fun features rare even in today's "high-end" ranges. Chambers stoves, for example, have a deep well burner - the original slow cooker! - plus a powerful stovetop broiler and griddle and childproof burner controls.

The Sustainability. Vintage gas stoves are THE most carbon-friendly kitchen stoves available! When you buy an older range, you prevent the extraction and consumption of fuel and other resources. But that's not all - some retro stoves were designed to be ultra energy-efficient. Chambers brand kitchen stoves and select Maytags use "Retained Heat" cooking, which requires just a few minutes of cooking "with the gas turned on". With Retained Heat cooking, you'll save money and significantly reduce your household's carbon footprint.

The Repairability. Truly, vintage gas ranges represent the epitome of American quality and ingenuity. They were built during a time when "repair, don't replace" was the standard American credo. The high quality of materials, along with repairable parts, means that your tuned-up retro range will last for decades to come - far longer than a newly manufactured stove.

The Beauty. Retro stoves were designed to impress - much like cars of the same era. Today, they can be the crown jewel of practically any kitchen - strikingly beautiful throughout a wide spectrum of vintage, funky, and contemporary settings.
